Circularly polarized antennas are often desirable in many applications using ultra high frequency (UHF), microwave frequencies, and millimeter wave frequencies. A circularly polarized wave may be produced by radiating horizontally and vertically polarized waves ninety degrees out of phase. This is often accomplished with power dividers and ninety-degree phase shifters. However, these power divider and phase shifter components often complicate the design of circularly polarized antennas. Additionally, the extremely narrow bandwidth of prior circularly polarized antennas make them undesirable in many applications requiring moderate bandwidth. Many systems, such as military and commercial communications systems, could be improved with compact, low cost, rugged, conformable antennas. Such antennas could readily be utilized in aircraft and global positioning system receivers.
